Folks, welcome to Wishlist After Dark! Up now, it's Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector, a weekly at-home treatment for hair that's survived color, bleach and hot tools. Hi everyone! Marty, I already know three friends who need this. Their flat irons basically live on the bathroom counter. Sunny, those are our people! The maker says it repairs and strengthens hair by rebuilding its broken bonds. Rebuilding bonds.

Marty, you make it sound like a bridge project. Penny, for your hair, it kind of is! And it's made for all hair types: straight, curly, wavy, thick and fine. Okay, here's the clever bit. It goes on from roots to ends before you shampoo, then you wash it out. That's the whole routine! Wait, before the shampoo? Sunny, how often? Once a week, or two to three times a week if your hair's really damaged.

Plus it's listed as vegan and cruelty-free! I can just see them grinning when they unwrap it. Okay, fine print. One bottle in the box, 3.3 fluid ounces. And it's not a conditioner, so it has to be shampooed out. Penny, do buyers actually see a difference? Most do, Sunny. It's four point four to four point nine stars across retailers, four point nine from 64 reviews at Macy's. But some say it wasn't worth the hype, or saw no difference after a couple of uses.

Hold on, Penny, didn't somebody mention fakes? One buyer reported a counterfeit bottle, Marty. So buy from the official Olaplex store or an authorized seller. Okay, moment of truth. The score? I'm at seven point six, Sunny's at eight point two, and Marty, of course, eight point seven. That's an After Dark Score of eight point one, number four of the thirteen beauty gifts we've ranked. Eight point one!

So, Penny, buy or skip? It's a buy, Sunny, for anyone whose hair has been through color, bleach and hot tools. One little bottle, one big weekly rescue! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time, folks!
